Assignment Due 4/23
What I did over spring break.
Over spring break I went to South Carolina with my family. While I was there I spent a lot of time skim boarding, walking on the beach, boogie boarding, surfing, golfing and exploring in the shallow waters. My family likes to try new things and being active, which we did except for watching The Master's! My favorite thing I did over spring break was going salt water fishing.

Assignment Due 4/1
Please correct the Body Composition information that we worked on last week. Delete what you had, and copy/paste the new material.
Assignment Due 3/25
Body Composition = the amount of lean body mass compared to the amount of body fat.
What are 3 examples of "lean body mass"?
1. Bone
2. Muscle
3. Organs
4. Body Fluids
What are 3 of the benefits of fat in your body?
1. Acts as an insulator, helping the body adapt to heat and cold
2. Acts as a shock absorber, helping to protect internal organs and bones from injury.
3. Helps the body use vitamins effectively
4. Acts as storage energy when the body needs energy
5. Maintains healthy skin and hair
6. Regulates levels of cholesterol in the blood.
How do you think a person's body composition is tested?
~ Body Composition is measured by calculating a person’s Body Mass Index (or BMI). Elementary students’ body composition is constantly changing due to rapid growth spurts, so children have a different BMI calculation table than adults. Calculating your BMI is generally something your doctor will do at a wellness check that you might not even be aware of to make sure that your body is healthy.

Place your index and middle fingers on the inside of the wrist just below the thumb and gently press. Carefully reposition fingers until you find the constant beat of your heart rate.
4. Take your resting heart rate - your resting heart rate is the speed of you heart when you are resting. It is best taken in the morning when you first wake up but after resting on the couch for a while with little movement would work fine as well for your homework.

Using a watch with a second hand, count the beats for 10 seconds.
Multiply that number by 6 to know what your heart rate is per minute.
* The average resting heart rate for a child is between 70 and 100 beats per minute so there is not one right answer. *

I disliked creating my own dance because I'm not fond of dancing. Unfortunately, there was nothing I liked about creating the dance.When creating a dance I would prefer to work in a group because I'm not as embarrassed in a group.
Creating my own dance did not change my perspective on how difficult it is to dance. I already thought it was hard before we started the dance unit.
The number of steps accumulated during dance was lower than I expected because in other units I got around 2,000 steps and here I only got around 1,000. I did not find it to be more than other activities.
I am glad that the dance unit is over and I have no other questions, comments or suggestions about the unit.

How do you think a person's body composition is tested?
~ Body Composition is measured by calculating a person’s Body Mass Index (or BMI). Elementary students’ body composition is constantly changing due to rapid growth spurts, so children have a different BMI calculation table than adults. Calculating your BMI is generally something your doctor will do at a wellness check that you might not even be aware of to make sure that your body is healthy.
